Re: Rule Changes?
When it comes to a tie or not a tie, do whatever you want to entertain the fans, but the points are to be awarded based on regular 5v5 hockey, not 4v4, not 3v3 and not an all-star skills competition event.
I do like that there is a juncture where the NCAA throws in the towel and says "Anything that happens after this moment doesn't matter to us. It is a tie game..." I would like to see OT be 10 minutes for NCAA purposes, but I'm ok with 5 min.
There should also be a rule in place that embellishment may NOT be called for the same play where a minor or major penalty was called. There are only two possibilities:
An infraction DID occur.
An infraction did NOT occur.
I'm so tired of seeing matching penalties in these cases. So essentially the ref is saying:
"Yes, the player was crosschecked and that is a penalty so I raised my arm so everyone knew that was against the rules. But then I didn't like the way the player fell down after they got crosschecked so I'm not going to really penalize the offending team..."
